"Please tell me it's not Ryan or Genevieve," Abigail said with a frown, hating the interruption.
"No. It's not," he assured her.
"One of your girlfriends, then?" She asked spying the name on his screen.
Jamal laughed, "Em is more of a sister than a friend. Give me a minute," he told her before receiving the call, "Em, I'm in the middle of something right now. I'll call you when I'm less busy."
"Oh. Sure," Emily said and hung up quickly.
"Who is Brenda?" Abigail blurted out before she could stop herself.
"Brenda?" Jamal asked with a frown, "The only Brenda I know is Lucy's daughter. How do you know Brenda?" Jamal asked, wondering how she could know someone she had never met but couldn't remember him.
"She's like a sister, too?" Abigail asked, ignoring his question.
Jamal grinned. "She is my cousin. Lucy and my mom are cousins. Why do you ask?" Jamal asked curiously.
Cousin? So she wasn't his girlfriend, Abigail mused, feeling very relieved.
